This Term's Topics

Greek Myths

Science: Grouping Living Things

Science: Dangers to Living Things

Jigsaw: Relationships

Summer term.
This term we will be reading Greek Myths and using these as a stimulus for our writing. We will read about Icarus and Daedalus, Theseus and the Minotaur, King Midas, The Trojan Horse as well as Perseus and Medusa.

Science
Our Science Topics this term are Grouping Living Things and Dangers to Living Things. We will learn about animal classification, use Venn and Carroll Diagrams to group animals. We will learn the differences between vertebrates and invertebrates as well as go on hunts in the forest school area to find such creatures. This links nicely to our Watchtree School Trip in June.

Maths
This term in Maths we will be focusing on decimals, time, shape, money, statistics as well as position and direction. There will be a focus on arithmetic to consolidate what has been taught in daily maths lessons. We will also work hard on instant recall of times tables, in particular through the use of Times Table Rock Stars, Doodle Tables and Doodle Maths. Please note that the Y4 Times Table check takes place in June, where children are expected to know tables up to 12x12 with rapid recall.


PE
In PE this term we will be consolidating fundamental movement skills in an Athletics context. We will also be using a striking fielding context to learn how to bat, bowl and field in some modified competitive games. Sports Day will also go ahead in June.

Class 11 Home Learning

Times Table Rockstars: Keep learning your tables!

Doodle.
This term, rather than send out weekly spellings and times tables, we would like the children to work on their times tables and spellings through the use of the Doodle App. The aim is to try to stay in the green zone.

Reading
It is important to keep reading and practise the skills you already have. Try to make sure that you are reading every day. Don't forget to look up any unfamiliar words in a dictionary or ask an adult to explain the meaning. Ask questions about what has been read and make predictions as to what might happen next.
